In Loving Memory of Neil Emery- Rest in Peace

August 7, 1970 to when the last vinyl disc is pressed & the last Truffala tree falls

"I started life as an egg in a womb 36 years ago, as a child i was shorter than today and used to play pooh sticks on the bridge over troubled waters- i burned that bridge and many others since, my first job was on a fairground, it was a rollercoaster of a ride that lasted 2 years. im currently finding myself- i did see my self in ealing broadway once but couldnt find me in the crowd."

I'm so sad and completely shocked, Neil Emery aka NeilByMouth from the bloggers who all met during Pete Townshend' 2005-2206 serialization of "The Boy Who Heard Music" has suddenly died. Neil passed away on Friday, June 18th 2010.

Neil Emery would have been 40 years old on August 7th 2010.

By his side was another lovely fellow blogger, his partner and love, Gypsy Noir. He was and always will be the heart of all of TBWHM bloggers.

Neil, a few days ago I thought about making a comment about how "Good Morning" is my favourite song on Sgt.Peppers B-side the other day when you posted it on Facebook and I left it because nothing witty was coming to me and I now I realized that missed a HUGE chance I'll never get back again. You were so kind to give me all those stars on Itunes and always making me laugh ...You just would have told me not to worry. Thanks for telling me I could stay with you in 2006, thanks also for reminding that a daily commute to London from Northumberland would probably be just a tad tricky!

There you were like a member of The Bonzo Dog band or Viv Stanshall's Old Profanity Showboat with the best photoshops, videos, art work. A true creative who got down to it. Great writer, so much funnier, wiser and more focused than I and most others ever were or was. I may mock but you mocked up. Far more energy efficient and intelligent if you want to send up pop culture. Post modernism? You steamed rolled over it like Harry Hill crossed with Viv Stanshall meets Terry Gilliam on two pots of Nescafe and a package of McVites plain chocolate on a bender with Gazza through the Geordie back roads in Cliff's Summer Holiday Bus- all seamlessly photo shopped for posterity of course.

I'll be, we'll all be saying goodbye for a long time.

Just says it all. Really missing you...we all love you so much.

ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS

In echoed steps I walked across an empty dreamI looked across this world, there was no one to be seenThis empty feeling turned and quietly walked awayI saw no warmth in life - no love was in my eyesI stared a century thinking this will never changeAs I hesitated, time rushed onwards without meToo scared to break the spell too small to take a fallBut the Absolute luck is - love is in our hearts!

I lost some hours thinking of itI need the strength to go and get what I wantI lost a lifetime thinking of itan' lost an era daydreaming like I do

I stared a century thinking this will never changeAs I hesitated, time rushed onwards without meToo scared to break the spell too small to take a fallBut the Absolute luck is - love is in our hearts!

In echoed steps you walk across an empty dreamBut look around this world, there's millions to be seenCome see the tyrants panic see their crumbling empires fallThen tell 'em we don't fight for fools -'cos love is in our hearts!

I lost some hours thinking of itI need the strength to go and get what I wantI lost a lifetime thinking of itan' lost an era daydreaming like I do

You can lose some hours thinking of itYou need the strength to go and get what you wantYou can lose a lifetime thinking of itAnd lose an era daydreaming like I do oooooooo

Great Lyrics: Ignore Land by R.E.M.

These bastards stole their power from the victims of the Us v. Them years,Wrecking all things virtuous and trueThe undermining social democratic downhill slide into abysmalLost lamb off the precipice into the trickle down runoff poolThey hypnotised the summer, 1979Marched into the capital brooding duplicitous, wicked and able, media-ready,Heartless, and labeled. Super US citizen, super achiever,Mega ultra power doesn't relax.Defense, defense, defense, defense. Yeah, yeah, yeahYeah, yeah, yeah, ignoreland. Yeah, yeah, yeah, ignorelandYeah, yeah, yeah

The information nation took their clues from all the sound-bite gluttons1980, 84, 88, 92 too, tooHow to be what you can be, junk, damn junk in your energyHow to walk in dignity with throw up on your shoesThey amplified the autumn, 1979Calculate the capital, offer the public my skinny assTV tells a million lies. The paper's terrified to reportAnything that isn't handed on a presidential spoon,I'm just profoundly frustrated by all this. So, fuck you, man (fuck 'em)Yeah, yeah, yeah, ignoreland. Yeah, yeah, yeah, ignorelandIf they wasn't there we would have created them. Maybe, it's true,But I'm resentful all the same. Someone's got to take the blameI know that this is vitriol. No solution, spleen venting,But I feel better having screamed. Don't you?They desecrate the winter, 1979Capital collateral. Brooding duplicitous, wicked and able, media-ready,Heartless, and labeled. Super US citizen, super achiever,Mega ultra power doesn't relax.Defense, defense, defense, defense. Yeah, yeah, yeahYeah, yeah, yeah, ignoreland. Yeah, yeah, yeah, ignorelandYeah, yeah, yeah, ignoreland. Yeah, yeah, yeahI did not do the revolutionThank you

Rumour has it she's now claiming it was a "fair chase" hunt, whatever the hell that means. I personally would not trust the words of any First World person who would do such a disgustingly wasteful thing. Free or canned, faraway or close up, Shayna Beevers is the enemy and a destroyerof wildlife hiding beyond the gossamer veneer of an "ethical conservationist." Her vapid smile and her greasy hair pulled over to one side so neatly is an insult to the nobility of the Lion she so casually destroyed.

I could go on about how foul and without redeeming value Shayna Beevers is and how many big cats are simply raised and slaughtered for her ilk but why? When the above photo (and my post below) says it all? This is not hunting and eating what you kill nor is it hunting with a spear like the Kalahari do as a rite of passage (Kalahari Bushmen can only hunt alone, with a spear and only take healthy adult wild male lions), this is wasting a beautiful top predator. For what? The fact that such a grossly uneducated and devious example of human refuse like Shayna Beevers is now trying to cover her tracks just makes it even more reprehensible. At least the Lion died with dignity.

If this makes you as disgusted as I am take TWO MINUTES and send an email (ideally include the above photo) to: ctravie1@tulane.edu

I have recently seen the photo of former Vice President of the Tulane Student Alumni Ambassadors, Miss Shayna Lynn Beevers participating proudly in a cruel hunting of an African Lion. Sources, including the Sun have intimated that hunt she was on was likely a canned hunt and that possibly the hunting facility is affiliated with canned hunters. I am aware that Alumni Affairs associates are supposed to have demonstrated that they are empowering their community and will be changing the nation and planet for the better. It is apparent that Miss Beevers is demonstrating that she has a paucity of values and integrity. I also notice also that one of the events Miss Beevers was involved with was a day at your local Audubon zoo which is inappropriate to say the least.

As you know canned hunting and actually ANY hunting of exotic cats in any form is banned and/or strictly regulated in much of the First World especially the United States. Canned hunting operations, also referred to as "shooting preserves" or "game ranches," are private trophy hunting facilities that offer their customers the opportunity to kill exotic and native animals that are trapped within enclosures. Game preserves similar to the one that Miss Beevers patronized have Lions bred like cattle in extremely small enclosures who are shot dead after only four days upon release from captivity.

Regardless of Shayna's now very desperate and transparent attempts to clean her soiled reputation via rumoured claims that the lion that she killed was simply hunted "fairly", I'm asking that you demonstrate, without equivocation, that Tulane does not stand for destructive and cruel practices towards exotic animals (be they wild or captive) and that Miss Shayna Lynn Beevers aforementioned actions become public alumni record and any positive connection she has to Tulane University be negated by this information forthwith.

TULANE Student Alumni Ambassadors Mission Statement:Looking Beyond the Present to Link the Past to the Future
Linking the Past to the Future through Traditions

"Oh we are so adroit. Too bad we missed the casting call for Africa Addio Part Two..."

Now looky hereah at what daddy's money bought y'all!

Guess that white hood and burning cross thing is outta style for a graduation in 2010? This slack jawed scrubber looks like she could burn a cross if she had to. Her ugly and foul father, Wiley J Beevers of Gretna, LA paid for her to go to South Africa to a private hunting reserve where African Lions bred in captivity are shot dead at point blank range. I hope this human refuse called Shayna Lynn Beevers and her perverted father Wiley J Beevers are prey in a canned hunt, preferably created by members of ELF and their fresh remains fed to hungry Tigers. What good could they possibly be serving the world we live in? We have enough Civil War re-enactment nuts and animal poachers running around as it is. Shayna Beevers has contributed nothing to society and likely never will.

The majority of South Africa's hunted lions are bred like cattle in electrified wire pens, then released to be shot by rich European and US trophy hunters. Currently they can be shot legally in some provinces just FOUR DAYS after being released from captivity.
When animals are stalked in a confined area it is known as "canned" hunting. Glad to know that the Vice President of the Tulane Student Alumni Ambassadors (SAA) is doing so much with her life to empower women and change the nation and planet for the better! Is that her "Boo at The Zoo" that her association puts on each year? (It would not surprise me if daddy Wiley J. Beevers got more than a few happy endings from Shayna Lynn's fellow débutante's for the chance to be such a great white hunter....)

Shayna Lynn Beevers: Hopefully any prospective employers won't Google your name. The net is a jungle and a squeaky clean reputation like the one you once had, via the resplendent exercise of one's first amendment rights can get brutally savaged as if devoured by Lions. The majority of those in the world with values and class do not support the killings of large predators for sport. So Shayna, you ugly redneck, don't pretend you are part of wild life management. You are nothing but a useless example of the ugly American. Narcissistic, ugly, misguided and 100% not to be trusted with a firearm. After I saw the beautiful Lion on the video shot so ineptly with a cross bow and franticly try to take the arrow out of it's chest as it died in slow agony, roaring in pain and fear, I've just been sickened by the thought of you.

"Wiley Jay Coyote! He might be a Grand Dragon but he loves to know his wild n' loose little Beaver shot herself a real live Lion!"
